Schaad, Balass, Menzl and Partner AG

Schaad, Balass, Menzl and Partner AG was compromised in a ransomware attack attributed to deadlock in July 2026. The organization, operating in the Professional Services sector in Switzerland, was added to the group's data leak site as part of an extortion campaign.

deadlock operates as a financially motivated ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation, exfiltrating sensitive data and threatening public disclosure to pressure victims into paying ransom demands.
